Lyrics
Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back I reminisce, I reminisce, like C.L. and Pete Rock When we never had to work for what we got When we used to street-box, not release shots But we still ran on the block when we seen cops Constantly reminded a time when played in the water sprayed from the fire hydrant Back when life's colours were bright and so vibrant And every day was like a shining light wherever I went When there was no grown-up problems and issues When it was all basketball and tennis shoes Not showing up to class with no excuse Doing whatever kids do just to skip school CDs of the memories owned by your man Not ???? So hold on to whatever dream's shown 'Fore you wake up and everything's gone Now let's think back... (1993) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back ('94, 1992) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back (2000, '98) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back ('91, 1995) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back Y'all remember way back in the days When hip-hop was 'bout talent, not the crap that they play On the radio now, first half that they sing Is straight auto-tuned out like Zab in L.A What the hell happened to originality? And there's a lot of rappers need to study on what real MCing is ? And my advice to ? is The reason is it could get tedious even for geniuses. (Yup) They say it takes hard work and dedication Maybe a little blind faith and meditation Don't forget the culture and where it came from Read up on your history, get you education 'Cause hip-hop starts in the heart And is only set apat by the smarts in your art So don't focus on the marks on the chart But to to be a spark in the dark And just think back... (1979) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back ('88, 1986) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back ('05, 2001) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back (1982, 1980) Let's take a sec to think back, think back, think back
